My question is if someone has access to the server and they log in and view the ssh keys, can they somehow read or write to the git repository on github? The github repository is currently set to private and I don't want anyone to read or write to it.
If some process on the server is able to read the repository using only that key, of course anyone else who has that key will be able to use it. If the SSH key itself isn't encrypted so that you need to enter a password whenever you use it, you can basically think of that file as being a 256-character long password in a text file.
